INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The MDM25 is a battery operated handmeter. 

Available  with  a  number  of  different  probe  configurations  and  the  ability  to  display 

relative  humidity,  temperature,  absolute  humidity  (g/m

3

),  dew  point  and  wet  bulb 

temperature,  the  MDM25  is  suitable  for  spot-checking  humidity  in  a  wide  variety  of 

applications.

The hygrometer is contained within a molded ABS housing with a rubber surround for 

drop protection – sealed to IP54 standards. The rubber surround allows for comfortable 

hand-held operation and safe transportation of the unit.

It is powered by 3 alkaline ‘AA’ size cells, which are designed to last a minimum of 150 

continuous hours between replacement. Continuous battery charge status indication is 

provided by a battery indicator icon.

A graphical display presents the RH and temperature readings, in addition to a selectable 

third value, in large format characters.
